Albert

Just getting this down for the record.

Albert didn’t do much maths and there’s the strong suggestion that his first wife solved all the equations for him.

He wasn’t the only one who came up with an equivalent to E=mc**2. Dozens of scientists came up with that, just read the wiki.

In fact Albert didn’t even write that equation until it had been derived from what he did write by others. He essentially did a “vulture” on them, 40 years after the fact; swooped in and took all the credit.

Albert didn’t think his equations really worked in all the really interesting ways they actually did work e.g. as used to predict the energy released when splitting atoms, quantum effects or the big bang.

Albert urged the US President to build the first atomic bomb after he realised he was wrong about splitting atoms and the energy this would release.

Albert married his cousin after unsuccessfully chasing her daughter. Incest and paedophilia!

Albert left Germany the first time to dodge national conscription when there wasn’t even a war on.

All up, there’s a credible argument to just wipe Albert’s name from the records altogether, all Harvey-like.

It just goes to show you can’t believe anything that is effectively the subjective collective truth, that which is repeated ad nauseam.
